Our beliefs shape everything.
It's the way we think, act, speak, and love one another. It's in the way we raise our families, love our community, and seek the good of others before ourselves. Here's what makes Covenant unique.
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is at the center of everything. We believe that Jesus is the only one who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life. We believe that Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.
The Trinity
We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy.
The Bible
We believe that the Bible is God’s inerrant Word. It is accurate, authoritative, and applicable to our everyday lives. In it, we have everything we need for life and godliness.
The Separation
We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives. We are born in sin because of our first father Adam, and through his fall, we all inherited the curse of death and eternal separation from God.
The Reconciliation
Jesus came to earth, lived a perfect life, then died on the cross on our behalf as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. In order to receive forgiveness and a fresh start with God, we must repent of our sins, believe in Jesus as Lord, and commit to His will for our lives as we obey all that He commands.
The Church
We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers to meet regularly together as we are instructed in the Scriptures. The church is where we have a family of families, living in obedience to Christ. We do this by learning from His word, singing praises to Him, and praying with and for each other, bearing one another's burdens.
We are called for His purposes:
1. Called to Celebrate His love for us
2. Called to Connect by belonging to His church
3. Called to Commit by becoming what He meant us to be
4. Called to Contribute by be a blessing to others through service
5. Called to Convert by sharing the Good news of Jesus Christ with others
From our Purposes our Mission Statement is formed:
Covenant Christian Church exists to “bring people to Jesus and membership into His family (Conversion), to develop them to Christ-like maturity (Commitment) and equip them for their ministry in the church (Contribute), establish healthy relationships through fellowship (Connect), in order to magnify Gods name (Celebrate).
Communion
Covenant serves an open table. Our guests are not only welcome but encouraged to participate. Communion is part of our historical roots and extremely important to us. It is our denominations practice to celebrate communion every week.
Baptism
We believe that Baptism is the first act of obedience, after accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. We do not consider it a “saving” act, but an act of obedience.
We accept Baptisms from other denominations, in other words, you do not have to be re-baptized to become a member of the church. We only baptize by immersion during an open worship service.
